RESPONDING TO GOD

In this blog I try to show how I, a person living with mental health issues, respond to my struggles, turning to God for comfort, strength and courage.

I've lived with bipolar disorder for over fifty years and have for twenty years worked to reduce the stigma attached to mental illness.

In an effort to build awareness in the church I founded the Living Room peer support ministry in 2006.

Currently my main focus for this blog is to look back at my memories of Living Room from its beginnings in 2006 to nine years later when ill health forced me to retire from my group. I hope these posts will help readers appreciate the value of faith-based peer support. If you're interested in joining a group go to Sanctuary Mental Health
